2020 Exhibitor Information
Dear Exhibitors:
The 2020 annual meeting of the Association of Veterans Affairs Surgeons (AVAS) will be held in Pittsburgh, PA, Sunday, April 19 through Tuesday April 21, 2020. This meeting is attended by general, oncologic, peripheral vascular, endovascular, thoracic, cardiac, wound care, and critical care surgeons as well as anesthesia providers from VA hospitals throughout the United States. Many university-based surgeons, surgery residents, and medical students from programs with VA affiliations typically attend this meeting. We anticipate approximately 180 surgeons and 25 exhibitors will attend.
The meeting will be held at the Pittsburgh Marriott City Center. The exhibit area will be reserved for meeting attendees only. Several breaks are planned for attendees to have the opportunity to meet with exhibitors; in past years many exhibitors have remarked on the excellent opportunity to meet surgeons in a personal and friendly setting. Exhibitors also will be invited to meet with physicians and attendees during lunch sessions as well as at the Sunday evening reception at the Andy Warhol Museum.
The AVAS sincerely hopes that you will be able to attend this meeting. For information about pricing and other arrangements, please contact our AVAS Administrator Sue Lentz at vasurgeons@gmail.com. The AVAS is a 501-C6 organization with a tax ID #47-6089981.
Sincerely,
